PHILOSOPHER'S DUEL BRACKET ONLY THEY ARE NOT DEBATING, THEY ARE ACTUALLY PHYSICALLY FIGHTING Socrates v. Democritus Sun Tzu v. Sartre Ayer v. Hare Wittgenstein vs. Quine -------- Rawls v. Nietzsche Carnap v. Davidson Descartes vs. Camus Plato vs. Machiavelli

To be clear: I ranked these guys basically just based on actual experience in war, and even then, the average drunken Irishman could cut down all these guys like a scythe. Philosophers, even among academics generally, are a bunch of wheezy nerds.

Plato, if he uses his legendary wrestling skills. Finishing move: The Cave-In.

FUCK HIM UP SOCRATES
